The Committee for a GMO Free Humboldt submitted more than 8,500 signatures to the County Elections Office last week on a petition to prohibit the cultivation or production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the county. The initiative is called the Humboldt County Genetic Contamination Prevention Ordinance. It would prohibit “propagating, cultivating, raising or growing” GMOs, but would not prevent food that is made with genetically engineered ingredients from being sold in grocery stores.
